Wilie Mays homered for the 511th time in his career, a 420-foot shot that tied the National League mark and sparked the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Herman Franks paid $50 for the ball, presenting it in the dressing room after the game as Mays eyed the all-time list approaching Ruth and Williams. Giants' win, plus St. Louis 5-2 over Pittsburgh, Cubs 2-0 over Dodgers, Reds 3-2 over Phillies, and Braves 5-2 over Mets, shaped a crowded day in the league standings.
